Trying to install Vista...have my iso file or .img file used on my windows machines....I can mount it on my Mac...but Parallels will not see it when I point to it... so I opened disk manager and converted it to a dmg format....Parallels can now see it...but when I try to use it to install a new instance....it boots and says a bootable drive is not available. Any thoughts on how to get around this..or how to burn a bootable dvd from this image file? Thanks
its not mounted....still get no boot device available. when I mount it...all the files are there...and looks exactly like the .img file mounted.
I have the same problem. I'm trying to install Vista Enterprise 32 bit into my Parallels build 3188 and keep getting boot from CD/DVD-Rom failed. I'm pointing the new configuration to boot from the iso file. Any suggestions?? Greg
Can't mount .img files, convert using Disk Utility I couldn't figure out how to open a .img file in parallels (they mount easily in the Finder), so I opened the disc image in Disk Utility and converted it to a CD/R Master file (.cdr) which was recognised by Parallels. Obviously Parallels supports .cdr and .dmg images, but does not support .img files.... I don't really understand the differences between them - they should all work.
